Uninstalling ArcGIS Server silently

This ArcGIS 10.8 documentation has been archived and is no longer updated. Content and links may be outdated. See the latest documentation.

The following steps guide you through the ArcGIS Server silent uninstallation process on Linux. Performing a silent installation of ArcGIS Server doesn't require an X display or user interaction during the installation process.

  1. Stop ArcGIS Server by:
    • Executing the stopserver script (based on the default installation location):

      ${HOME}/arcgis/server/stopserver.sh

    OR:

    • Using the shortcut on your desktop environment: ArcGIS > Stop ArcGIS Server
  2. If ArcGIS Server is configured to be started with the operating system, follow the steps below to remove the daemon:
    1. Switch to root user.
    2. Remove the daemons by executing the commands appropriate for your operating system::

      If your operating system supports systemd, run these commands to remove links in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants:

      systemctl disable arcgisserver.service
      rm -f /etc/systemd/system/arcgisserver.service

      If ArcGIS Server is installed on a Red Hat Linux machine that supports SysV, run these commands:

      $ chkconfig --del arcgisserver
      $ rm -f /etc/rc.d/init.d/arcgisserver

      If ArcGIS Server is installed on a SUSE Linux machine that supports SysV, run these commands:

      $ insserv -r arcgisserver
      $ rm -f /etc/init.d/arcgisserver

    3. End the root user session.
  3. Execute the uninstallation script as shown below (based on default installation location):

    ${HOME}/arcgis/server/uninstall_ArcGISServer -s

Note:

The uninstaller does not remove configuration, log, and user-created files.
